Florida Unemployment - Seasonal Employment

We hire seasonal staff for a total of 11 days, will they qualify for unemployment after this seasonal work has ended?

Hi Kathryn,

Generally, the purpose of designating "seasonal employment" when paying unemployment taxes is so unemployment can only be collected during the "season".

This is really a tax question .. and I simply do not know much about UI taxes, but I know that .. depending on the state if a seasonal employee works beyond the dates established as the season they may collect unemployment irregardless.

An example would be if someone worked for a professional sports organization and the team went to the playoffs which were beyond the end of the season .. or if a ski resort opened early or closed late etc.
